There are two trails you’re going to want to check out while at Rockwood Conservation Area.

Within the Conservation Area, there are two trails: the Pothole Trail and Cedar Ridge Trail.

According to Rockwood, “Offering impressive views of the park, they take you around the reservoir, along the tops of cliffs, across boardwalks through wetlands and beside big glacial potholes. The trails are moderate difficulty and can be accessed from the beach or the mills ruins.”

If hikes aren’t your thing, Rockwood has a beautiful sandy beach, the ideal spot to lay by the water and spend a day.

The park is open all-year round for day use from 8:00 AM until the sun goes down.

Day-use admission starts at $8.50 for adults and $3.75 for children between the ages of four and 11.

What’re you waiting for? Get planning your trip to Rockwood Conservation Area!
